2 Peter 2
Peter addresses corrupt teachers who deny the reality of final judgment and lead the church astray through immoral behavior and distorted theology, particularly regarding money and sexual conduct. Peter uses Old Testament examples of divine judgment—the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah—to demonstrate that God holds people accountable for their choices while remaining faithful to deliver the righteous.
